Settling Isn’t a Bad Word & How to Keep the Spark Alive | Adultish Whines Podcast

Keeping the Spark Alive When the Wine Runs Out — Dr. Viviana on Adultish Whines

Dr. Viviana Coles, renowned relationship and intimacy expert, returns to Adultish Whines with a refreshing reminder: intimacy doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.

In this candid conversation, Dr. Viviana dives into three truths every couple needs to hear:

1. Scheduling sex is better than no sex.
Life gets busy — between kids, work, and never-ending to-do lists, spontaneous passion isn’t always realistic. Dr. Viviana encourages couples to plan intimacy the same way they plan everything else that matters. When you make time for connection, you’re prioritizing your relationship, not making it less romantic.

2. “Settling” is actually making a choice.
Too often, people confuse settling with commitment. As Dr. Viviana explains, choosing to stay, grow, and love someone deeply is not about lowering your standards — it’s about investing in the relationship you’ve chosen.

3. Keeping the spark alive isn’t about grand gestures.
It’s the small, consistent moments that matter most. Communicating, being present, and showing up — even when you’re in sweatpants and the wine’s long gone — is what keeps intimacy alive for the long haul.

This episode is a must-listen for couples who want to reconnect emotionally and physically, without feeling like they have to become someone else to do it.
